Board: /vrpg/
"/vrpg/ - Video Games/RPG" is 4chan's imageboard dedicated to the discussion of role-playing video games.
/vrpg/ is a place to discuss all types of role-playing video games, including single-player, multi-player, and massively multi-player, turn-based and real-time action, western-style and JRPG.
Does this mean RPGs are banned on other video game boards? No! /vrpg/ is just a separate board specifically focused on RPGs where discussions about your favorite games can thrive.
Please familiarize yourself with the rules and remember to use the spoiler function where appropriate! Summon Night is a good series.
Can we get a thread going? Am I gonna regret not levelling my party members evenly? is the shitty broken junk jet in camp hathor worth the price?
Was I scammed? >ctrl+f
>no Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D thread
What the fuck? Isn't this what this board was made for?
Anyway, how is it so far It's Monday once again. Time to talk about monster collecting and raising games. What mon games have you been playing? What upcoming mon games are you looking forward to? 
>Divinity Original Sin 3 but in Forgotten Realms and with D&D ruleset (meaning zero vibe or orginal games)
>countless of pointless mechanics that the game doesn't need and no one uses anyway
>releases in sorry ass state despite god know how many years in development and 3 years in early access and needs more than a year of patches to be playable (still have bugs)
>cut content they lied about and they couldn't finish because they bit 3 times as much as they could chew
>counting dialogues and in-game cutscenes as "cinematics" to brag how they have thousands of hours of them (in reality game has around 8 minutes of actual cinematics
>1700 endings my ass
>shitty mechanics (present in other Divinity games, that are clunky, chore-ish and reinvent the wheel in worse way possible (chaining character, entire stealing system etc.)
>playable original characters that add very little for replayability and just increase bugs and development time
>desperate attempt to tie this game to Bhaalspawn saga by bringing back old characters The Dead Three and destroying arcs of some of them (Viconia, Sarevok, entire existance of Dark Cuck)
>woke elements (body types, black elves and dwarves, horny companions, the entire persona of Karlach)
Somehow despite all of this game is praised as RPG of the decade and new standard for RPGs. Look, I really like Wrath so far (not as much as Kingmaker but it's still good) but one thing I've noticed so far... fucking hell, is every single person of authority or strength a girl-boss? It's kind of absurd at this point. I can accept a couple but it's fucking constant so far, and I'm only up to the start of Chapter 3.
Kingmaker felt a lot more authentic and believable and less cringe, the more I play of Wrath the more I wish I was just replaying Kingmaker (hot take, maybe) because it was just more chill and had less weirdly forced shit in it. Is It Joever? have we reached the limits of the unstoppable power of our imagination and CoG having zero quality control? have any of you ever burst out into tears over this scene? as someone who has attempted suicide 6 times, i get it, i lost all hope and thought there was nothing left for me Bros! I'm Fucking stoked! 2 of the greatest RPGs of all time being released as a remaster! Shut up and take my money!
I'm literally running around hi-fiving other RPG fans that we are going to expose a new generation to these great games on March 6th of 2025!
Please let us also get a Suikoden III remaster next, and then Suikoden V right after that! We would absolutely Fucking love this! Now that the dust has settled, which one is a better RPG?
Which one was sold better?
Which one has better combat?
Which one has better graphics?
Which one was bigger disappointment? >RPG with weapons that are properly made
A dream is there a game that focuses on playing as a priest / cleric / holy person What do you think of Tim Cain's idea of the worst possible RPG?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QkxMF-4ckA Why is having children with your romance option so uncommon in rpgs? This motherfucking elderly man is a funking powerhouse
No really I buff him with everything I have then I just watch him cut off everyone balls one by one (while covering his ass with my sniper mc) NOT ONLY THAT but he also tank the bosses attacks like they're NOTHING DAMN OWLCAT WAS COOKING WHEN THEY MADE THIS FELLA RIGHT HERE SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T DECIDE TO NERF HIM WOW
Did anyone here already played the DLC? Thoughts on Kibellah? No spoilers please I haven't played yet... Why the fuck did the Solasta devs think it was a good idea to give female elves the same face as the Bogdanoffs? What's your favorite RPG tavern and why?
What makes a good one in your opinion?
I'm making an RPG and I want to make an interesting tavern for the first demo. The one I have at the moment is pretty bland. At the same time I can't make it too out there like picrel because the game is low fantasy. Let's start a boxing gym! I thought it'd be fun to try running a gym together
>what is this?
A Web Boxing League thread! It's a simulation game where we make fighters and try to get them to rise through the ranks against other player owned fighters.
>what should I do?
You can either give me a specific build or a general concept (counter puncher/glasscannon) or anime character (Joe Yabuki) to base a boxer on and I'll integrate them into the game.
>how many characters are allowed in?
There are 17 weight classes so you can submit as many or as little as you want, but if you lose three times in a row, we'll hold a vote and consider dropping the fighter.
>what's our gym's name?
For now, Clover Club, but if another name gets traction it will be changed.
>what if I want to go full minmax autism?

Just go to the official website and learn the mechanics yourself. If you're good at math, you should be a huge asset. That said, let's begin. Character sheet next post. Never played either of them before, should I play the former first? I wonder reason of fallout 5 doesn't relased, it was a succesful game series and it' would be amazing play a new fallout game affecting the game depending on the choices with advanced graphics >First three games are amazing
>Everything after is shit
How did Falcom drop the ball so hard? v1.10 update’s coming out within the month. Let’s look forward to what comes afterwards too. It’s hard to think of an experience more frustrating than a game that’s ALMOST good. Pic related and Tyranny are key examples of this for me, where clearly the spark is there but it never really gets capitalized on. >The Poles have The Witcher.
>The Czechs have Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

I don't get it. What are the best non-Japanese RPGs in your opinion and why? bet most people on this board haven't even played peak 
I'm about to play Chrono Trigger for the first time. Will I like it more than Chrono Cross? Is what the RPG bros say true? That this game is 5 times as based as Chrono Cross? I fucking love Chrono Cross so much it is unreal and have completed CC over a dozen times this lifespan alone and CC gets twice as based everytime somehow and I even take my love of CC Lore to the next level irl I.E. I always stock all the bathrooms I own with at least 1 Chrono Cross strategey guide each just in case any guests feel a need to Lore out (Chrono Cross style) while they piss and shit. Given my love of CC I suppose it is sorta strange how I haven't started CT until moments ago decades later... especially since I go intensly hard, very hard in the groins for any and all varieties of Time Travel Lore. Right now I have the televison playing the CT intro on repeat as I type this post powergulping vodka to prep for my first playthrough and I have to say this intro is pretty dangerous. Dangerously based. But still not sure if this intro is based as the CC intro?
Tldr = how based is CT compared to CC?
t. Some anons may know me as Lorechad (the first human time traveler) It's once again AE's birthday month. Do you have fond memories of their games? I tried playing this for the 100th time but I always suck. How can I git gud? >most popular RPG of 2023

How do we stop BG3? What would it have been like? 
I finished Fear & Hunger 2: Termina with all characters on Masoχ-S/M. Here's my final character ranking based on objective gameplay factors.
>S tier
Max consistency, no exploits needed to win the game.
>S- (exploit) tier
The easiest way to beast the game on the hardest difficulty if you use "exploits". Whether something qualifies as an exploit or not is subjective but it's easy to see why they're relying on things that go from "kind of overpowered" to "outright [de]bug abuse".
>A tier
It's honest work, but it's consistent.
>B tier
Would put S to A characters here, if you picked suboptimal starting skills.
>C tier
You get at least one useful reliable thing from your character's start.
>D tier
You get nothing, you need to get lucky to survive, highest demand on player's action skill (dodging enemies, planning your route well, etc.).
The most obvious exploit right away is the debug tile that gives you a rifle + bolt cutters. You can, in example, empty the rifle into Chaugnar in Tunnel 7 for a free extra early soul -> possibly earlier Weaponcraft -> Meat Grinder. The Chaugnar fight is easy to fuck up even when you've got good gear. Then there are Rher dimension exploits
>infinite food/small keys/money (and fast) from the neighbor near the Golden Gate in White Mold Apartments (accessible to anyone)
>infinite bear/booba traps from the top left darkness corner in the Broken Shack Rher dimension, accessible from the ritual circle
>extra Sylvan healing from Mayor's Manor ritual circle (requires entering the Rher dimension from Golden Gates)
Finally, you can get infinite Gro-goroth affinity with Blood Sacrifice, so if you use that you don't need to draw a symbol. Not as huge as it might seem though, you only need one circle to max Gro-goroth affinity (I would recommend using it in the manor). Undertale's 9th Anniversary wasn't too long ago.
Are you developing a fangame? Do you think you'll finish it before the next chapters release? Share progress. eat shit piece of garbage game lol Post about DRPGs right now

Dungeon of Erotic Master Plus, an H dungeon crawler that is on the short side. Not amazing but was enjoyable enough for 10 or so hours of playtime. Which is the better game. Only asking because Im going to play both eventually but Im not sure which to play first has anyone here played the okegom games? (wadanohara and the great blue sea, the gray garden, mogeko castle, etc) People are coming around to this game. WHAT A THRILL!!
The English version of Ys X releases today.
https://youtu.be/uIlf678b_e8
There is also a demo available on Steam. Ia Neverwinter Nights 2 better than first part? Bravely Default highkey sweeps any Final Fantasy in story, gameplay and OST, yet boomers aren't ready for that conversation you know what i think? since RPGs are made as low brow coom bait for braindead zoomers we should go full blown half-porn half-adveture style, bit like thow Newgrounds porn RPG maker games. sells will get off the roof at first and will be unbearable (were kinda almost at that sweet G spot) but after that people will get bored and tired with constant coom baiting and will look for more intelligent sort of vidya entertainment. this will be out comeback Just bought this. I don't know anything about 40k but have wanted to get into it for a while. What am I in for? How much choice should you have in an RPG? Lil bro can't even compete with an RPG that released over a year ago Even the cover art for their new game looks completely soulless terrible lmao Elin releases in 12 hours. (Successor to Elona)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2135150/Elin/ Why is this such a step backwards from RS2? this could be the perfect game I really enjoy the setting of dark souls employed in jarpigs and was looking for moar games. I really enjoyed enchant quest and ASYLUM so far, also did black souls and even though I enjoyed it it didn't get the feel I'm looking for quite right. Are you going to give in to pressure and use IA to make your RPG?
Also post progress. I've only just heard about this game today. It releases in 2 weeks? How? It looks like crap. What do you mean it was originally released in 2021? How have I never heard of it? Ooooh, it was a mobile game for the Apple Arcade.
OK. That explains a lot. Shiren Mystery Dungeon 6 just had DLC announced in the japanese nintendo direct
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf28fTnvSxg
Koppa and Asuka are now playable, along with other stuff I'm too lazy to translate.
anyway Shiren thread, when the fuck is the dreamcast game getting its translation patch finished? 
Pls no bully, I couldn't think of a better title for this thread. This is also a bit of a broad topic. I enjoy JRPGs on some level, but for some of them, I find myself just waiting for the next major story beat or fight.
What ideas do you anons have? Even if a big company never takes the suggestions here, maybe someone that can into coding could get some value out of this. Here's a couple I thought of to get started.
>Debloat
To be fair, this isn't a problem limited to this genre. Besides being shorter, JRPGs could also debloat based on their encounters. In an FPS, it's bad design to put 20 of the same enemh in a room, and have the player mindlessly kill them. JRPGs can also suffer from this problem if you go through 20 battles in a dungeon and you're just mindlessly selecting the defaul attack option. This is something I think JRPGs could learn from western rpgs by making every encounter handcrafted, but that's not always feasible.
>Overworld Genre Mixing
Outside of combat, I'm not saying that every JRPG needs to play like GTA or have you wall jumping and zipping around like a 3D platformer. Maybe the dungeons could have puzzles similar to what you'd find in a Zelda or Portal game. To progress the main quest, maybe you have to solve a murder mystery like in adventure game, where you're talking to NPCs, piecing together information, combining items, and so on. So do Japanese fans still say the same stupid shit western fans do, where they claim this game has a bad story and characters? Or do they actually get it? >Some autismo literally makes a superior rpg maker using a game engine (godot) than enterbrain Why do most JRPGs prefer the status quo over anything else? And I'm not referring to "god bad" trope, which is also overused. But at least there is SOMETHING.
Devil Survivor 2 as a example, is very notorious for this.
>any other ending makes a everchanging impact to the world and is considered taboo by some characters
>the "true" ending is just revert it back to normal and is considered virtuous
In NG+, the true ending gives you 100 points unlike other endings which they are 30.
It also has the message of:
>humanity are powerful, there are no flaws in humanity, what they do is amazing, etc
Despite the shit going on in-game. For as much as I love the 3DS, I've played embarrassingly few games on it. In terms of RPGs I've only played Persona Q, Alliance Alive, and SMT Devil Survivor which is a DS game anyways. Any recommendations? I understand why water is typically the healing element/magic type/attribute in rpgs but given how broad it is I wonder why it hasn't been used as a dps/tank type either. Holy shit...
If the Biodrones on the subreddit feel this way about the game then it must be worse than DA2, something I never thought would be possible. It's even worse since that game at least has the excuse of being shit out on a year of development time while Wokeguard took a decade to make. Besides the troon propaganda it seems like the story is subpar, the artstyle juvenile (as in 'mobile gamingish) and even the voice work could do with a re-over. A work less than the sums of its parts. Games that give me the feeling of Conan the Barbarian? I don't care about their age, but no multiplayer slop please. >just randomly talk to people, get a quest to slay some beast, with no indication that there ever was a quest here
>find a rare hunt on the way there, get a cool reward
>decide to revisit some mines after the Occurias knows how many hours
>get greeted with an entirely not-hinted at boss fight, and a new area with too strong enemies afterwards
>grab an awesome legendary weapon and head out
People call this an offline MMO and they are damn right.
Love it, haven't touched the main story in hours. Newblood's homage to true Fallout series (1&2) dropped new screenshot. What do you think about this project - how pozzed will it be and will you be able do shoot children? Read video description for more reasons as to why this is all I can share for now. Might leak a poster or more trailer clips soon, keep an eye out.
https://vimeo.com/1031398601?share=copy#t=0 Any suggestions for 3DS RPGs? SRPGs are welcome too.
I already have all of Atlus' stuff and have played all the Super Robot Wars, Etrian Odyssey and Fire Emblem games on it.
I also actually have a bunch of games that I bought that I never got round to playing, anything here that's particularly better than the others?
-Soul Hackers
-Radiant Historia
-Stella Glow
-Seventh Dragon 2020
I also have the original Seventh Dragon (DS) and the PSP ones but I've never got round to playing them. >almost 2024
>still no good sci-fi RPG
do i ask for too much? Is Curse of the Azure Bonds a worthy successor to Pool of Radiance? Black, dark, death, whatever knight, what are some rpgs where I can play as a dark nigga using the power of DARKNESS? just found out that my favorite fangame of all time lisa: the pointless is actually having its update worked on when i thought it was dead and i am so fucking giddy If you called the help number on the front of the disk, would Etna talk to you and tell you hints about the game? Favorite RPGs that feature mages? I'm on a big wizard kick lately
I just finished my first run of WOTR as a Lich and honestly I felt like a God. I could do everything, and was better than everybody at anything. I could walk into a room filled with high level enemies and snap my fingers to cripple them all, then snap my fingers again to kill them outright. It's such a power trip
DAO was similar, though that was less being powerful and more just being immortal. Nothing could really touch or effect a Mage that attempted to optimize in that game
I want to look into JRPGs that let me play as a wizard but magic in those games just has a different feel, it's flashier but it doesn't feel as powerful How come solo turn based RPGs never became the norm? Im trying to come up with a big three of jrpgs for each console gen starting with the nes.
for nes dragon quest 3 is the obvious pick but i dont know what else would be included. snes is easy as thats chrono trigger, ff6 and secrets of mana (and if you dont consider that an rpg then earthbound) ps1 id say is probably ff7, chrono cross and xenogears and ps2 maybe ff10, dragon quest 8 and persona 3? after that i cant think of anything tho. >Single-handedly saves crpg.
You are welcomed, gamers. >make evil character to roleplay as selfish asshole
>Game punishes you right and left for not being literal scout boy
Fuck off sick and tired of this. I wan to be corrupted, rotten and evil fucker because im normal dude irl. Meanwhile im either playing the game or have to be schizo border retarded mass murderer thats more to that is constantly broke and have less xp
What RPG doest evil route well? Any rpg's where strength based classes beat spellcasters? We're in a period now where a select few gacha games are now at the forefront of the genre.
They've overtaken the console releases in terms of quality and game design.
The online dogma surrounding gacha though have made is so that any serious discussion about these games is delegitimized, but the point still stands.
These titles are the games of the year. They're above what Atlus, Capcom and Square-Enix are pushing out, and you should be playing through them to learn what they're doing right. I'm just playing KOTOR 1 for the first time on normal and planning to do a Scout -> Jedi Sentinel build.
The thing is that, from what I've read, you are supposed to intentionally not level up after level 2 and keep your levels for later extra Jedi ones. I suppose meaning powers/abilities etc. Because level 20 is the max.
Doesn't this sound pretty gimmicky/powergame-y though? Also a bad design and a slog early game? You seem to spend a lot more time than needed as a non-Jedi in a Jedi game.
What do you do? Should I just jump straight to KOTOR 2? Wandering Sword is getting a big update in a couple of days, haven't tried the game yet.
Is it a good martial arts rpg? Played alot of Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion previously. So, how bad will it be? Hard to surpass game that is perfect According to Iuntue, this was the last good rpg. i never played this game, anything i should know before i start? for example any setting i should change or something wrong with the HD version? >NPC tells me step by step how to find my way to certain spot, with long description of surrounding
>i got minimap showing me the way where to go
what was the point..? I'm interested in them, but I can't decide which one to start with (or end with, more than likely). They all look cool but give off a strong vibe of being retarded at the same time. I'm trying to pick the least retarded one. Thoughts? >Expedition 33

It feels just like playing Morrowind as a dungeon crawler.
Is there an active community regarding this game? It took some hours to learn the controls I guess.
While there be more riddles and puzzles going forward from the monastery? >From here on out you will not be able to return to the regular map, please save another file

When did video games become so hand holdy? Anyone know of any good RPGs with a variety of party members? Like any game where you can truly customize your party. Outward fucking sucks. God awful unrewarding loop with little character progression and a ton of walking through empty fields.
am i damned to eternally chase the high that was my first play of oblivion? I just want an arpg where i can level up and develop a cool character and delve dungeons with satisfying rewards A few years ago I asked how modern RPGs would be distinguished. What are the trends that are characteristic of this generation? Even if not all games have them.
After playing many games, I feel like I can say it's the farming+crafting elements. i wish there was game letting me roleplay as normal person, just in unusual situation. im paralyzed and cant do shit. am i condamned on visual novel world of bullshit? >look for examples of dungeon crawler titles because I want to try getting into the genre
>top 25 list
>Gamestop
>second game mentioned is Binding of Isaac
Disgusting.
I'm already aware of the most prominent titles of the genre, I guess I want to know about the non-obvious ones I may be overlooking.
I also want to ask: what do (you) like about the genre? It seems to encompass some very different games; which elements are most important to you? Post well written RPG characters, ill start:
Dijkstra is well written RPG character, got his own personality that is not terribly obvious cliche mockery of human psyche Why do RPGs revolve around killing?
Why not have games be something you could play with your friends that don't involve competition or simulating taking lives? World of Warcraft ruined artstyle of moder RPGs, its a damn shame. Its like that corporate calart for souless codemonkeys and their jewish overlords. Bloody AI now can do this shit just as good, looks exactly te same.
Im talking of course about real RPGs not some japshit 4 niggas in a row slop. Just look how Diablo 2, or Planscape, or Icewind Dale or goddam Gothic used to look like. Some of these titles had regular gore to show dramatism. Now its either kindergarden fluff or over-the-top blootbath that doesnt even pretend to be realistic.
Personally i blame Warcraft 3, even if i loved that game at LAN parties as a wee lad How many people are there here who were born in the early 90s have played the good ultima games (up to Ultima VIII)?
Underworld and Worlds of Ultima included. What are some rpgs with time progression mechanics? not day night cycle but a story where you have a set number of time slots to get shit done. notable examples are princess maker, metaphor refantazio, persona 3-5, Tale of Wuxia, Path of Wuxia, Long Live The Queen, Road To Passion, etc. >BG3

??? Why Haleberd is so underappreciated in RPGrinos? its best blunt weapon you can imagine How do we gatekeep gen Z and gen Alpha from RPGs? Obviously im talking about small indie devs since all the big titles are already lost. I just want to smash enemies and fuck elven tsuendre bitches, not all that gay quirky shit.
If nothing will change anytime soon, genre gonna be pretty much dead - same way it happened many times before with different media raped that way Why is this specific world stuck at 96%?
I've done literally everything I could think of. Anyone getting tired of fantasy RPGs?
Any good/FUN RPGs set in modern day(or near-future)?

Pokéchads have the most mechanically complex RPG and it's not even close. New thread
Greatest DLC of all time? Why was this game so much easier than the first? Were the devs afraid that retarded journalists would complain about grind and write a bad review? >possibly the only interesting character in the game
>not recruitable
what were they thinking? 
RPGs should allow you to get soft locked if you make shitty builds, are stupid enough to sell/drop qeust items.
I think there's no reason that any retard can beat every computer game he picks up. What's the point / sense of achievement of beating a game if everybody can do it?
Did you really "beat" anything if the said thing is bound to lose from the start?
I think modern RPGs are babying the player too much. I don't think that every build / strategy should be able to beat the game. Figuring out what works is part of the fun. (Unless you are the type who plays RPGs for gay sex and compensation for the lack of social life)
The game should also try to explain to you the mechanics, of course. It shouldn't just be trial and error.
But again, computer games (not just RPGs) today are literally targeting the most drooling of retards who don't even play RPGs without guides, pick diffuclty levels like "Unfair" in Pathfinder and then complain that they can't beat it. Developers are just trying to plese them.
I really savored the tears of people struggling at Malenia in Elden Ring and calling her unfair, all because they felt ENTITLED (that's the key word) to being able to beat her. When the game slapped them in the face with defeat and told them "You are just not good enough, sorry." They started fuming and calling it "Unfair" lol. If anything, I wish Malenia was more difficult and that she was MANDATORY, no summons. I wish there was no way to dodge her waterfowl other than the circling dodge, I wish nothing else worked. I wish she was genuinely as difficult as casual scrubs suggest. I wish From (or any other developer for that matter) actually had the balls to make games challenging again, instead of literally sucking the casual subhumans off. The phrase "return to form" is so common that it can no longer be seen as a coincidence Unless you are fluent in japanese, what's the point of playing turn based JRPGs? You are just going to play a woke-fied, censored, rewritten and virtue signaling version of the game made by localizers
I can understand not caring about it on games with real time combat, but turn based games are all about the story that is now a whole different thing thanks to localizers >RPGs where you think
>"fuck yeah this is so comfy fuck real life and shit"
For me it's Ultima IX and Baldurs Gate 1. >These NPCs are not scripted. We give them general goals and they figure out on their own how to accomplish them.
Obviously Todd was lying about how complex the radiant AI was in Oblivion, but it's been 20 years. We now have ALL the technology we need to actually make it real and make it work. So why don't any RPGs actually do it? It would make them so much more immersive and alive and fun. How do you solve the problem of pure charisma builds turning the games into VNs? Any other anons played this? I am 23, but was really poor growing up and my meth addicted mom only had money to buy me a GBC when I was 4, so my first video game was pokemon blue fsr and then this was the next one. Second game I ever managed to beat (after pokemon blue, lol. I literally just had a level 80 charizard with a bunch of fire type moves and strength that i brute forced through the elite four as someone who was unable to read english properly enough to even understand the game.) I went back and played this harry potter one again as an adult here recently and it has surprisingly fun systems and is essentially a 1:1 adaptation of the book. Minigames, equipment system, summons that work through mixing and matching rare consumables in the form of cards, etc. Not bad. Square Enix stock price plummets 12%, profit down 27% in latest earnings report
What the fuck went so wrong? Hardcore classic wow is the only mmo that truly feels like an mmo to me, it brutally mogs every other mmo I've ever experienced. Having someone help you randomly in the world feels incredible, and when you leave people say things like "stay safe out there' and take the game seriously. Seeing someone 10 levels later and you both are still alive feels so fucking good, you're both happy to see each other and instantly feel good talking to each other it's crazy. Having a party member die in a dungeon is fucking devastating. It all feels real, why won't someone make a new mmo like this? Holy fuck I wish companies made new games that didn't suck When people say "single player mmo" what do they mean by this? asking 'cause I kinda wanna play one Utawarerumono: Shiro e no Michishirube
Any hopes for gameplay improvements or the story? DiscoBros this is not good... why jews are like this?

Which sides he would side with in the Circle and Dalish quests? Anyone doing a replay? Please, feel free to post your characters/builds, and what is going on in your playthrough. Why did Nintendo decide to have a Xenoblade chronicles X definitive edition announcement at the end October but not at the start of January? it would cut the wait time by so much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meabXp-IFkM What's the best way to play BG1? I was looking at EE mods and it's seems like most of the mods are just restorations of the original features. So why not just play the original with gemrb?
Also any mod suggestions? I don't want anything adding more content but graphical and ui enchantments would be nice. >Be le good hero guy Paladin McJaw

Thank you Mr.Wizard you are my best ally Imagine being an evil faction that NCR, BOS, Enclave and the Great Khan ended their hostility to eliminate you. I started Ys VIII as my first Falcom game. I’m 10 hours in and I hope their other games are this good. This has really smooth, snappy controls that make it fun to just move around. And the world design is better than it seems at first. I saw those little diamond gate loading barriers characteristic of handheld games and didn’t have high expectations. But the game is surprisingly big and open without being Xenoblade levels of bloated in map size. And Laxia is a cute tsundere. IT'S OUT
FALLOUT SONORA ENGLISH TRANSLATION RELEASED

Bethesda is stubbornly going their own way into Oblivion. Since the release of Skyrim, RPGs and RPG-Hybrids experienced an amazing Renaissance. From Souls games, which are Action-RPG to Baldur‘s Gate 3, a cRPG. A less positive example would be the Assassin’s Creed series, which turned from comfy Action games to have much more RPG elements. Bethesda will do none of that. They will continue their path to create a casual gaming experience for a mass market. Skyrim Lead Designer Bruce Nesmith said so in an interview:
>I don't think [Baldur's Gate 3's success] necessarily presages a complete change over back to more numbers and more fiddly character sheets and things like that
>Whether or not the rest of the industry will follow suit, I don't know. I'm not smart enough to say that, But I think that through Skyrim, Bethesda has wanted to have the game get out of its own way.
You can’t help, but be amazed at Todd‘s stubbornness. TES VI needs to be a big success. It needs to be genre-defining. It needs to be a masterpiece. But they refuse to bring back RPG mechanics. Having a rich open world is no longer be a unique selling point. I predicted that the next TES would surely bring back attributes given the Gaming Industry‘s trend, but it’s not going to happen. You didn't just rely on the pistol in Deus Ex, did you? Are you already blasting the latest and truest 2.5D Indie Gothic Successor? So i have been wanting to play this game but i wasn't sure, suposedly it's quite hefty even compared to the other laxius games and while i really liked the Laxius force games i wasn't sure if i was up to commit so many hours and wanted to see if any other anon here has played it before and share their experiences
also Aldorlea games thread what the fuck was her problem? Like I get zetta was being an egotistical brat and taking everything for granted, even in book form, but what causes her to snap and do a 180 from protecting zetta from alex trying to snipe him to going full Suicidal blood pact? Did siphoning her power to keep zetta alive finally break her offscreen? Did she realize at the rate their going zetta was gonna get back his body and go right back to underapprecating her before she inevitably kicks the bucket and that just mindbroke her a bit? Also spoilers for makai kingdom I guess. Here's a tip if you play archolos: get a telekinesis scroll but don't use it, just equip it now and then.

Pillars of Eternity
Baldur's Gate
Which is the least pozzed? 
Getting back into this game. Enjoying the EE, though some technical issues. I remember that there was a button or command to have all spoils on the floor being shown, to make them easier to pick up, but it seems gone.
Also, all my save files show no character portraits and no screenshot, though they work normally. Had only one crash so far.
Doing any playthroughs currently? Have some fun groups going?
But, since I hate myself, thinking about creating an entirely new group. 4 characters, several races with EXP penalties, some minor multiclassing, and slightly leaning towards evil.
>Aasimar Fighter
In some kind of "fallen angel" fashion. Powerful race, slower progressing, but it's a fighter anyway, will have more feats than I know what to do with.
>Drow Ranger
Self-explanatory, slower EXP progression, focusing on dual-wielding, getting the Weapon-Finesse feat because elf for two large swords.
>Human Cleric of Tempus/Talos/Bane
Talos maybe for dealing electric damage? The Bane spells for enchantment are nice too. But maybe something can be done with the feats increasing lightning damage. Generic human for quick progression and skill points.
>Tiefling Rogue/Necromancer
Chill Touch would count as sneak attack. It's probably not worth going for the Assassin feat, though. Will need Weapon Finesse again, which is probably not worth it for one single spell.
Is it actually better to start as Wizard or as a Rogue for this combo? Don't remember if they gain free spells if you pick Wizard as second class.
This group might lack someone being truly charismatic, though does it really matter for Icewind Dale? Don't want to use a Bard again. The Aasimar could be a Paladin, but don't like how they immediately solve certain quests and it goes against the idea of an all evil group.
Should probably continue playing my current group anyway. But it's fun to theorycraft. I started to get back into playing video games after a long hiatus. What are the must have games that have released since 2018 and also any future ones? I saw pic related got remade again so decide to pic it up.
